TomB 0 Posted September 27, 2004 Does anyone know what the biggest official engine in a Mk2 Golf was? Just out of curiosity really. A work mate has just returned from Germany with a Postcard that he found in a pub with an excellent picture of a Mk2 2 and the stats on it. My German isn't great, but it definately says 1984ccs under engine size. I thought they only went as high as a 1800cc. Cheers, Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andihaz 0 Posted September 27, 2004 Might just be a coincidence, but 1984 was the ifrst year the golf came in to production I think! Are you sure that its not stating that instead of engine capacity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted September 27, 2004 The States got the 2.0l 16v engine in the Mk2 but I dont know what one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 27, 2004 The Americans did get a 2.0 as it was the only way to get a reasonable performance after their emissions stuff was slapped on. The 1800 couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding when saddled with US emissions junk. Also, some German MK2s got a 2.0. My accountant mate ordered one in from Germany in 1990. Brand new, 2.0 16V fitted at the factory, leather recaros, electric slide sunroof (from an Audi 80 I presume).....everything..... He had it tuned to 180 bhp and lowered by Oettinger as soon as it left Wolfsburg, then it was shipped over. Cost him well over £20K..... 14 years ago :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomB 0 Posted September 27, 2004 andihaz, it's definately under Engine Size (ah the wonders of babel fish), and it shows as a 1990 on the plate. Cheers, gents, I was rather curious... Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
